Project Cobra. One at a time.
Ok so here's what Im going to attempt. I want to do a post where I make one modification at a time then go to the track and see what I picked up. If it works I think it'll be a pretty neat project. I went to the track this weekend and I will post the bone stock times. I have pics of when I got it and after each modification Ill add another pic. Let me know what you guys think and hopefully when I finish this will be very helpful to people about to modify their Cobras. I will be doing all this on BFG T/A's. Im sure I'll be putting radials on soon but I think I want to see what the modifications do on street tires. Here is the list of things I will be doing and in the order Im going to have it done. I am open to rearranging it if you have good advice as to why I should swap it. Thanks and we'll see how it goes!
1. JLT CAI 2. MGW Short Shifter 3. 4.10 Gears 4. Longtubes/Exhaust Bassani X/spintek muffs? 5. Tune 6. Subframe Connectors 7. Supercharger/Turbo ????? Car Specs: '98 STOCK Cobra. 95k. Bought it from my old high school teacher. One owner. Pics: When I first picked it up...    Car show this wekeend. Got the Engine Detailed by Nick. GREAT JOB     First runs at the track: Ill give the top 3 1///// 2///// 3 Reaction: .2196///// .3843///// .0575 60ft: 2.2131///// 2.2964///// 2.1964 1/8: 9.4256///// 9.4701///// 9.4509 MPH: 74.61///// 74.74///// 74.47 I ran very consistent most the night with the wost time of 9.68. Hopefully I'll have someone there next time doing videos. Hope ya'll will enjoy this thread. |

If you ever plan on throwing slicks or ET streets on it, I'd do 31 spline axles & carrier at the same time as the 4.10's it will save you labor cost

Got some "lightly used" 4.10's off of a reputable guy on svtp for 90 bucks shipped and installed them for free at my girlfriends dad's shop. Went to the track this weekend and was fairly pleased at what I saw. I NEED TIRES. I think my street tires are killing me. I don't get much spin on launch but with the 4.10's lose traction in 2nd and 3rd bad. 25-28psi
Vid of my fastest run. Really dark and too long but you can see the time. I got whooped by a Juiced/cammed/slicks/Exhaust Edge Gt. lol Best races of the night were with a Heavly modded Cobalt SS. I won 3 outta 4 but they were all really close. Really nice guy with a well done Cobalt and he didn't have the "ricer" attitude. However it made me want more. I want to blow those things away. Slip: R: .1213 60: 2.1260 1/8: 9.1704 MPH: 77.79 I was very consistant. Other times were right around here with my slowest at 9.2078. So I saw a decrease of around .2 to .3 off of the 1/8 with a 4-6MPH increase of HP. The next mod I will be doing is tires. I figure why waste the money on mod's if I can't even stick it to the pavement. Help me make up my mind guys. Options: Black Saleens Black Chrome Saleens Chrome Saleens 04 Polished or Chrome Cobra's Pics:

black/chrome saleens, chrome cobras. i have a 97 cobra but don't have the dinero for rims, if i did, i'd go chrome. they look nicer, but harder to keep clean. that'll brighter your stang, red/black too plain. bling that shi-at out!
